Stanford Engineering Coterminal Students - Applying for Dean's Office Financial Support

In spring 2014, the School of Engineering Dean's office launched a pilot program to expand graduate funding opportunities for coterminal students. We are now accepting applications for the second cohort.

The pilot focuses on engineering undergraduates who demonstrated substantial financial need as undergraduates, and whose eligibility for undergraduate aid has been exhausted. Applicants must have been admitted to coterm-MS study in one of the 10 programs in Engineering.

A faculty committee will review applications, and select 15-20 students for the second cohort. Awards will provide partial funding (approximately half of a full graduate fellowship/assistantship) for up to 3 quarters. These can be combined with partial RA, CA or fellowship support from faculty or departments.

Deadlines

First round funding applications: Monday, March 9, 2015
(Possible) second round applications: Monday, April 27, 2015

Please review the sample application for the application process, including the short essay questions, and for more detail about the awards.

To apply:

Please be sure to collect the necessary information, including short essay answers, then launch and fill out the web form. SUNET Authentication is required.

The Engineering coterm page has general information about coterminal study and funding, with links to our departments and to the university’s coterm policies and procedures.
